The party's parliamentary group was a member of the Hamburg Parliament from 1946 to 1978, from 1987 to 1993, from 2001 to 2004 and from 2011 to 2020. Since the 2020 state elections in Hamburg,[3] the FDP Hamburg has been represented by one directly elected, non-attached member of parliament only and does not have its own parliamentary group. As of 2019, the party has about 1,544 members.[4]
In 2023, Sonja Jacobsen had been elected as chairwomean of the party.[3]
Election results
editSince the FDP received a result of only 4.97% in the 2020 state elections and therefore failed to pass the five percent hurdle,[5] the party was not represented by a parliamentary group in the Hamburg Parliament. However, thanks to a constituency mandate, top candidate Anna von Treuenfels was appointed as member of the Hamburg Parliament.
In January 2022, former member of the SPD Sami Musa joined the FDP Hamburg.[6] Therefore, the FDP was represented by two members in the Hamburg Parliament.[7] Anna-Elisabeth von Treuenfels-Frowein left the party in July 2024 for the CDU, therefore only one member represents the FDP in the Hamburg Parliament.[8]
